A number of family members of Al-Jazeera colleague Wael Al-Dahdouh, including his wife, son, and daughter, were martyred in an Israeli bombing that targeted a house to which they were displaced in the Nuseirat camp in the central Gaza Strip.
Our colleague Al-Dahdouh was distinguished by his accurate coverage of the Israeli bombing and the numerous massacres it is committing in its ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip, and he conveyed on the ground the extent of the destruction and the clear targeting of defenseless civilians in the Strip.
Colleague Al-Dahdouh was covering from Al-Jazeera's office in Gaza the ongoing Israeli raids when he was surprised by a raid on the area where his family had taken refuge in the southern Gaza Valley, which is among the areas to which the occupation asked residents to go.
Members of the colleague Al-Dahdouh's family took refuge in the Nuseirat camp in the south of the Gaza Strip after he felt that he would not be able to devote himself to them amid the continuous bombing and his tireless work covering the aggression.
The occupation had asked the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip to move south to avoid the bombing, but the Israeli bombing followed them there, repeatedly confirming that there is no safe place in the Gaza Strip.
Our colleague Al-Dahdouh said, “It is clear that the series of targeting children, women, and civilians continues, and I spoke about the Israeli raids that targeted all areas, including the Nuseirat area, and we had some doubts that the Israeli occupation would not leave these people unpunished, and unfortunately this is what happened, and this is it.” The area that the “moral” occupation said was safe.”
He added, "The Israeli bombing targeted my family in an area far from northern Gaza, which the occupation army requested to evacuate," and said, "They will take revenge on us with the children. Our tears are tears of humanity, not tears of cowardice and collapse. Let the occupation army lose heart."
For his part, the Al Jazeera correspondent said that there were more than 100 people in the targeted building, including a large number of members of the Dahdouh family. The reporter added that the Israeli bombing targeted the Dahdouh and Awad families, noting that a number of members of the two families are still missing.
